[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] On the subject of masses I've been using the rough formula of multiplying FASA and SotSF masses by 4.5 to get 'proper' masses. This puts the SotSF Avenger and the DS9TM Miranda close together and puts the Constitution within "Scotty numbers" of the million ton(ne)s quoted in TOS. I haven't tried applying this much outside the commoner classes. Generally FASA masses should be taken with a pinch of salt. Mass was a primary factor in the game's ship construction system and so is a game number rather than a real world number. I assume that it's a 'tonnage equivalance figure' used in some computer simulation system. Same way that all FASA ships only have weapons with two dimensional firing arcs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
